LINK: http://ift.tt/17y1u71Carlos is having the strangest dreams, and the strangest headaches, like there’s something he’s supposed to be remembering. Not to mention the intern’s wedding coming up, and that new chemical StrexCorp wants him to develop. It’s going to be a busy week.!fic, site:archiveofourown, fandom:welcometonightvale, rating:teenandupaudiences, pairing:carlos/cecil.(welcome.to.night.vale), ~author:indigostohelit, warning:other/unspecified, warning:consent-issues, trope:amnesia

Blaine Anderson is a 1950s boy who fell through a rift in time, and ended up in the 2000s. The America branch of Torchwood took him, gave him a new identity and a home, and enrolled him in boarding school to keep him out of trouble.

He’s adapted pretty well so far—his favorite thing is that he can admit out loud that HE’S GAY HE LIKES BOY oh gosh that feels good~

and he wants to get married like yesterday because GOODNESS GRACIOUS KURT HE’S TWENTY DO YOU WANT HIM TO BE AN OLD MAID

new med, I cannot tell if you are working at all or not because my head feels awful and it’s fucking with my ability to function and care so it’s really hard to judge what’s a physical symptom and what’s a depression symptom.

I will hold out hope, however! this is just your first day! and we don’t even go to the full dose for another week!

This instagram account is re-blogging fan art without crediting, and tagging Chris and Darren, which is something I DO NOT condone. I don’t agree with art/fic being re-blogged without crediting the artists and a *REALLY* disagree with them tagging actors who have expressed discomfort with RPF fic/art featuring them.

What really upsets me though is that they’ve linked to my Livejournal in their profile. They linked to a story I thought I’d taken down that I am really uncomfortable with. I’ve deleted it (although I thought I had?? That’s totally my fail), but I want to clarify that THIS IS NOT MY ACCOUNT. I am in NO WAY affiliated with them. Anyone who is following (they have almost 2k folowers), please know that this is NOT MY INSTAGRAM in any way. An artist contacted me thinking this was my account, asking me to delete their art because they weren’t credited and felt that their art was being stolen. Obviously we worked it out when we talked and I clarified that it wasn’t my account. If there are any other artists whose art has been posted, I encourage you to report this account. Honestly I’m going to encourage anyone to do it.

And that is the end of my angry rant. Please reblog and signal boost this post if you are up for it, because I really want people to know I have nothing to do with this AND I strongly disagree with posting art and not crediting AND tagging the actors, which I honestly find reprehensible and gross.

So again, in case you’ve missed earlier posts, there’s this person reposting fan art and photo edits and manips on their IG and tagging Darren and Chris and pretending to own a lj account that isn’t theirs either and so basically we should go and report them and/or tell them to stop this immediately. Makes me want to stop drawing fan art altogether, ffs.

WHAT

How dare you? In particular these drawings?!!

I’m also going to tag

judearaya

in this, because it’s her LJ they are falsely linking to & she should know about it. (Man, this is almost making me want to get an Instagram account, just so I could give that person a piece of my mind…)

oh hey, I missed that this is already floating around! Two posts works for me. Because I am SO ANGRY THAT THEY ARE LINKING TO MY ACCOUNT.like, ffs, why me?

I am getting all turned around trying to figure out the reporting system on instagram so if someone could give me step-by-step instructions that would be great! if not, just. report them yourselves and continue to signal boost? not on.

I want a movie about a kid who just so happens to be born a Classic Gothic Hero, but in modern day. His name would be like Byron Dangerfield or something.

Whenever he has EMOTIONS, there are claps of thunder and lightning. Every time he leans against a piece of furniture, it turns out to open a secret passageway leading to some dark secret, until eventually he’s just like “REALLY, GUYS?” All bad dreams are prophetic, even if it’s just that Starbucks will be out of pumpkin spice syrup the next day. Every girl he talks to swoons a lot and has a tyrannical heavy-browed father who are all played by the same actor. Ravens flock around him.

There are inexplicably paintings with moving eyes and moving suits of armor everywhere he goes, even McDonalds. Every time he moves to a new apartment, there is ALWAYS a screaming woman chained up in the room above his, and she invariably sets the place on fire. He’s so over it.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot and while I don’t think this will be a comprehensive list, I’ll try. Often emotions will manifest as one or more interoceptive (physical) sensations and interoceptive sensations can be confused for emotions (especially anxiety or nervousness). Here are some ways to identify both that I’ve found helpful.

Common interoceptive sensations:

Am I hungry? Signs: stomach pain/nausea, stomach making noises, irritable, tired, lightheaded, headache, trouble focusing, more than a few hours since last food intake

Do I need to use the bathroom? Signs: pressure or pain in the lower abdomen, cramping, gas, feeling more comfortable when curled in the fetal position than stretched out flat

Common emotions and how to identify them:

Am I anxious? Anxiety is usually future-related. What’s going to happen in my short or long term future that I might be scared or nervous about? Is there anything new or out of the ordinary? Is something changing? Have new expectations been placed on me? Do I feel like there is something I need to avoid, even if that means doing something out of character or drastic?

Am I sad? Sadness is usually related to loss. Have I lost or am I losing something important to me? Is a part of me that I like going away or changing? Is something coming to an end? Do I feel like crying or withdrawing?

Am I happy? Happiness is usually related to fulfillment. Have I gotten something that I wished for or wanted? Has someone done something for me or given me something? Am I reaching a goal or milestone soon? [Note: happiness can sometimes feel like anxiety or be mixed with anxiety if it’s too intense.]

Am I angry? Anger is usually related to violation. Has someone done something that violates my beliefs, rights, trust or property? Has someone taken something from me or damaged something that I value? Do I feel like lashing out physically or verbally at someone?

Am I afraid? Fear is usually related to preserving safety. Am I in danger emotionally, physically, socially or mentally? Do I feel like fleeing or hiding? Is there a person in my life who I try to avoid being around? Am I engaging in behavior that carries a high risk of injury or self-harm? Is my future uncertain in ways that I’m not sure I can handle?

Like I said, this is really first draft-y and rough but hopefully it’s a start. What works for me might be different than what works for you.
